A story came to me and I wanted to share it with the world.
4.
How do you feel
about the writing community as a whole?
I
love the way writers help other writers. Even if the question seems stupid we
help any way we can because everyone started as nobodies and now some of us are
bestselling authors.
5.
Have you or will
you be willing to collaborate with other authors in the future?
I
haven’t, but I would like to try it. It seems interesting and exciting.
6.
Tell us about
your book and if it’s upcoming or already published.
I
have published my first book that is part of a series. It’s an epic fantasy
adventure. It narrates the story of a witch who is a healer and lives in the
human world in Spain. The book has magic, adventures, love, friendship, wars,
demons… and many more.

It’s
available in paperback and ebook.

Yes,
because this is a series. I am planning to add more twists and turns to the
story.
10. Is there anything you would say to people that
want to write and publish a book?
Yes.
Believe in yourself even if everything seems hopeless. You see a dark tunnel
but you will see the light, people will know you, but you have to push forward
in order to achieve that. Never give up!
11. Are you a writer
that became a Librarian or a Librarian that became a writer?
I
am a Librarian who became a writer.
12. Can you tell us about how that has influenced
your writing career?
I
always loved books, even before I knew how to read. When I finished a book, I
made up stories in my mind. I took a part of the story and transformed it into
something else. But I never wrote them until now. It was 4 years ago that the
story of “The cursed girl” came to me. I had finished reading “The City of
Heavenly Fire” and I was wondering what if Clary was a witch?
That’s
how Eva was born. In the beginning, she
was like Clary but after she took her own shape and character. It was strange
because I had never written a book before—although I had attempted it many
times—this book was like it was being written on its own. I knew the story
before I knew it. Does this make any sense? I guess many authors talk that way,
but it’s true.
My
main influences were books, mainly “The Mortal Instruments” and the tv series
“The Witches of East End.” Also, some places had a lot to do with the places
that are described in the book.
13. Where can my readers find your book and how
